This is designed for trucks without the cargo management rails. I was able to install it despite having the rails.
Thank! Ordered mine. Originally wanted to get the diamond back but i need to carry SUVs and our bed is too short to put it on top so did not want to keep taking it off. Will let you know how the install goes. i do not have that tie down rail so should be no issue but could you tell me what size bolt fits these holes for the rail install? I wanted to add some anchors but not sure what size bolt it should be. Amazon link would be appreciated :).

Thanks!

Sorry, I don't know that bolt size.

If it's poping up a little in the back you need to reset the rails on the side by pushing in toward the bed. That solved my issue at least.
Or use the adjustments at the back to change the tension on the tabs that click in when you close it per the instructions. mine has 3k on it no issues.

got mine few days back but due to crappy weather did not install until today. well was easy and quick. I did not add weather proofing to the front which is needed if you do not want rain in there especially when driving, but that is for spring and should be easy enough modification.

Put mine on yesterday. Had to remove the side rails to make it fit unfortunately. Fits well.

Finally got bolts and tie down anchors https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H9ZKRH6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

worked out good. had trouble getting through the bed spray, broke one bolt now need to extract, hate it when it happens. recommend finding better quality bolts with higher torque strength. here is a picture how it came out, i think it is enough for me and certainty beats any rail system price vise as well as being very low profile

just ordered. Was originally thinking something more expensive/elaborate and made in the USA but this is too good a deal to pass up and quality looks pretty decent. $147 to the door with tax on Amazon. Says it will be here by Friday.

I hate that I had to remove the side rails to fit it. I thought I saw someone post about some black hardware that would go into the jeep rail system and into the tonneau holding rail.
Cant find it now . Looked around the internet too.
Only found some that dont seem to have the correct depth.

Understand wanting to save a bit with this cover at a great price- but losing the trail rails would be a no go for me. I went with the access literider, has version specifically for the JT with trail rails, and will work with some bed racks (jcr offroad for sure) when I eventually add that later on. Paid 329 for mine from autoanything, at my door 2 days later and installed no problem in the trail rails in about 1/2 hour. Very happy with it so far, fits tight and looks good.
